With fewer people filing paper returns, local post offices will maintain regular business hours on April 18.
The familiar April 15 deadline for filing federal and state tax returns is three days later this year thanks to a little-known holiday celebrated in the District of Columbia called Emancipation Day. It marks the day President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act in 1862, which freed about 3,100 slaves in the district. Normally, the holiday is recognized on April 16, but when it falls on a Saturday, like this year, it is observed the preceding Friday. Under the tax law, District of Columbia holidays are considered federal holidays, which prompted the IRS to move the deadline to April 18. John Kasperek, owner of Manchester's Kasperek & Co. Accountants, said about half of his clients knew the deadline had been pushed back …

Although the average is $3.87 for a gallon of regular unleaded Monday night in Manchester and Town and Country, prices are over $4 a gallon for mid-grade and premium.
Gas prices in the St. Louis area have been rising steadily, and unfortunately, local experts are forecasting the trend will continue. They expected prices to hit $4 a gallon by summer, but they have already hit that mark for mid-grade and preminum gasoline. Currently, gas prices in the St. Louis area are averaging $3.77 for a gallon of regular unleaded, according to AAA of Missouri. That’s up from $2.77 a gallon the same time last year. However, in Town and Country, Manchester and many surrounding cities, the average price was $3.87 late Monday night. “It takes a significant bite out of family budgets, especially when you consider that a family with two cars uses about 1,200 gallons of gas a year,” said Mike Right, a spokesman for AAA of …
